kurtedward Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 one of my most used features in PagePlus was the 'Crop to shape' function. overlay a shape over an image and select 'crop to shape' and the underling image takes the shape of the overlaying shape. I see reference to 'mask to shape' but can't find that function either. Is there an easy way to do this without creating a separate layer, using a mask?

Staff MEB Posted June 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi kurtedward, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Drag the image's layer over the right part of the shape's layer in the Layers panel - you should see an horizontal blue line appearing - then release the mouse. The image will use the shape as a clipping path. Alternatively you can copy it to the clipboard, then select the shape and go to menu Edit ▸ Paste Inside.

kurtedward Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I bit cryptic but I got it. Maybe they should add a reference regarding 'crop to shape' in the help file for users of the older products that can reference to the new procedures and terminology? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
